Into another week...

...under greyish skies...

Music waits...

...especially so as it was raining outside and would, indeed, rain all day...

Working again on the "Front Porch" project re my trio with Edward Spark and Blue Sun Chasing...

Noted that, contrary to having been advised it's in A minor, it's actually in C...

Changes made...

Luna was being her cheeky wee self...

Here...

There...

Everywhere...

...until a perch was found...

In the afternoon, more work on the piece...

Having produced two mixes of the trio piece utilising a "Disquietmusik" guitarscape, a quiet mix and a mix based on Edward Spark's mix but amended to my liking and, then, a third using a different guitarscape, I decided to record a brand new piano piece to use instead of the guitars...

...and came up with what I called the "New Trio Version"...

And so, by the early afternoon, I had all these...

Meanwhile, Anne's painting was advancing...

Late afternoon, to working on more music elements which arrived late last night, this time for another project - saxophone improvs from Brussels based Joe Higham...

A quick first mix done and an MP3 sent back to Joe - reaction and progress to be made on Wednesday...

On the TV front toinight, season 7 of "The Black List" came to an early close, with a partly animated episode 19 as 20, 21 and 22 were cancelled due to Covid...

A shockingly bad 55 scored on "University Challenge" - we are telling ourselves it's because far to many of the questions were buzzed in on before we heard the whole thing...

"Unforgiven" also continued...

Very last thing, a request from Joe for the track with no sax, so he could re-record his part...

Looking forward to that...

Highlight of the Day : Working on new ideas...

Crispycat Latest Release

"I know I produce an awful lot of music, which can make it hard to keep up. But, at the end of each year since 2021, I've produced a tasty compilation ("The Originals") featuring one track from each release. So, every year, if you're only going to buy one CBQ album, make it that one!" "Twentytwentyfour: The Originals" is a 130 minute selection of tracks from the fifteen 2024 releases by Cloudland Blue Quartet. The collection is issued in anticipation of (and includes a track from) the fifteenth and final record of the year, "Twentytwentyfour", a multi disc compilation of rare and previously unreleased recordings made by CBQ throughout 2024, which is due on 31 December.

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
